CCX

Newly developed unique cermet base material with thick cvd coating. Excellent wear resistance provides long tool life for low carbon steel, general, steel and cast iron machining.

Benefits

• CVD coated cermet for finishing
• Shows greater strength and wear resistance in a wide range of cutting speeds from general to high speed machining
• Great chipping resistance with specialized high-strength micro grain substrate and the compressive residual stress of a CVD coating layer
• High efficiency and long tool life oriented

Features

• Specialized high-strength micro grain cermet including a high metal content binder phase
• High wear and fracture resistance

Applications

• Long tool life in high speed machining of soft steel and general steel
• Long tool life for cast iron finishing
